Poster's comment:  I'm not an expert on 1957 Chevrolets, but something seems very wrong with this car.  At least one body line seems to be missing?  Or am I missing something?

Homemade convertible. Was originally a 2-door sedan.

Putting the top on is now the hard part. You can see where the door frames were cut just after the vent windows. At this point it's a garage convertible but it is priced accordingly.

From my personal experience and survey approximately 75% of the “convertibles” in Cuba were cut down sedans.

I dont know a lot about the tri 5's but this one looks funny to me as well. Shouldnt there be a dip (v) where the door hits the quarter panel?

 

I had a buddy that was looking for a 57, I thought I found one for him. Found out it was a 4 door with the back doors welded and filled in. After looking I could see the goofiness, but driving down the road it didnt cross my mind. 

 

Get this car for 15k and it may be worthwhile to put a hard top back on.
